General

What is MyClaude?

MyClaude is the only dedicated marketplace for the Claude Code ecosystem. Creators publish reusable components — skills, agents, squads, workflows, design systems, prompts, CLAUDE.md configs, applications, and systems — that buyers install with myclaude install @creator/product. Unlike free directories, MyClaude provides content security scanning (22 malicious patterns), purchase-verified reviews, Stripe Connect payments, and a dedicated CLI with 12 commands.

Is MyClaude free to use?

Browsing, searching, and installing free products costs nothing. Paid products are priced by creators. The platform charges an 8% fee on paid sales.

What product categories does MyClaude support?

MyClaude supports 9 categories: Skills, Squads, Agents, Workflows, Design Systems, Prompts, CLAUDE.md, Applications, and Systems. See Product Types for definitions.

A 9-15 line YAML manifest that defines your product's metadata, pricing, and configuration. See vault.yaml Specification.
